  • A Man on the Move: William Dubocq (1769-1834)

    A Man on the Move: William Dubocq (1769-1834)

    A Man on the Move: William Dubocq (1769-1834) This is the story of the French Connection in our family. When Guillaume Dubocq immigrated to Philadelphia with his wife and two young daughters in 1804, they were fleeing the massacres of white Europeans in the French colony of Saint Domingue during the slave rebellion that ended with the independence of the black nation we now call Haiti. But, that wasn’t the end of the story … really it was only the beginning of his travels as he and his family moved about building considerable wealth in a variety of businesses. The last decade of the 18 th century was a difficult time in France … especially for the nobility … and a difficult time in Saint Domingue for anyone whose skin was white. Obviously the discord of the French Revolution and Haitian Slave Rebellion made record-keeping a very secondary endeavor. So we know only bits and pieces about the early lives of Guillaume Dubocq and his wife Marie- Anne Françoise Trochon de Loriére. Guillaume Dubocq was born in Libourne about 1770 to Jean Dubocq and Marie Labatte. This town is near Bordeaux in southwest France. We learned about his parents and his hometown from the 1799 record of his marriage. There he also gives his age as 28, implying a birth year of 1771 … but in an 1834 document he gave his age as 65, implying he was born in 1769. We know nothing about his earlier ancestors, though it is possible that a 25 August 1723 marriage of François Dubosq and Phillipe Michelet recorded in Libourne may be the wedding of his grandparents … since the family name was variously spelled Duboscq, Dubosq, Dubocq, and Duboc.

    The Vine and Olive Colony: a Cutting of Napoleon’S Empire Grafted Onto American Stock

    The Vine and Olive Colony: A Cutting Of Napoleon's Empire Grafted Onto American Stock General Count Charles Lefebvre-Desnouettes, leader of the Napoleonic exiles at ªEaglevilleº in the ªstate of Marengoº, Alabama, USA an oldfashionedhistoryTM by Bill Kitchens First edition appeared in the June 1999 issue of Early American Life. Copyright 2017, William E. Kitchens The French might well be forgiven letting their fancies escape the grinding reality of Napoleon©s defeat and the restoration of the widely (though not universally) hated Bourbon Monarchy. Paris periodicals and artists© imaginations fed the escapist hunger with fantastic scenes of a far away wilderness paradise where exiled heroes of the Grand Armee labored alongside poets and scholars building a new world on the ideals of Rosseau and the French Revolution; while fair ladies, who would grace an emperor©s court, ministered tenderly to their needs. Cynics no doubt scoffed at the very idea, but such a place did exist ± well, sort of. Perhaps the papers hadn©t gotten all the details quite right, that happens now and then. It wasn©t the "state of Marengo", it was the state of Alabama. But there were scores of soldiers and renowned officers, and poets and scholars, among others of all ranks and occupations. There was an aura, at least, of liberty, equality, and fraternity. And, God knows, there was wilderness, and there was labor. There were even fair ladies, who had once graced the Emperor Napoleon©s court, now going about in their silk ball gowns and satin slippers tending to their menfolk and their children, and their chickens, cattle, and hogs.

    Professional Communities in Alabama, from 1804 to 1861

    OBJECTS OF CONFIDENCE AND CHOICE: PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITIES IN ALABAMA, 1804-1861 By THOMAS EDWARD REIDY JOSHUA D. ROTHMAN, COMMITTEE CHAIR GEORGE C. RABLE LAWRENCE F. KOHL JOHN M. GIGGIE JENNIFER R. GREEN A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2014 ! Copyright Thomas E. Reidy 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Objects of Confidence and Choice considered the centrality of professional communities in Alabama, from 1804 to 1861. The dissertation highlighted what it meant to be a professional, as well as what professionals meant to their communities. The study examined themes of education, family, wealth patterns, slaveholding, and identities. This project defined professionals as men with professional degrees or licenses to practice: doctors, clergymen, teachers, and others. Several men who appeared here have been widely studied: William Lowndes Yancey, Josiah Nott, J. Marion Sims, James Birney, Leroy Pope Walker, Clement Comer Clay, and his son Clement Claiborne Clay. Others are less familiar today, but were leaders of their towns and cities. Names were culled from various censuses and tax records, and put into a database that included age, marital status, children, real property, personal property, and slaveholding. In total, the database included 453 names. The study also mined a rich vein of primary source material from the very articulate professional community. Objects of Confidence and Choice indicated that professionals were not a social class but a community of institution builders. In order to refine this conclusion, a more targeted investigation of professionals in a single antebellum Alabama town will be needed.
